DOGE shut down the entire Sharknado early warning system and fired their staff.

Newsweek:

The space rock—known as 2025 OW—is estimated to be about 210 feet across and will make its closest approach to our next Monday, at a distance of around 393,000 miles, according to NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL).

NASA is also tracking another airplane-sized space rock known as 2025 OX, which is estimated to be about 110 feet across, and will fly past the Earth on July 26 at a distance of 2,810,000 miles.

Wouldn’t there be other objects that Collide with the asteroid and knock it off course? Or other large gravitationally significant objects which in the course of their own movements alter the path of Mr. OW?
How can the trackers predict that?
Just askin’ for a friend.

NASA tell the truth? Needs a keyboard alert and warning for side cramps. So how ‘bout all those ships docking at the observatory in Hawaii? Let’s talk about that.
